Achievement of meaningful use is a major, organization-wide transformational initiative, and associated challenges must be effectively managed as a team initiative or organizations may face serious challenges related to stakeholder buy-in, compliance and workflow disruption. Meaningful Use requires a health care culture centered on teamwork, grounded in mission and purpose. Teams must shape the deployment of each component of the EHR, incorporating physician, nursing and IS work groups can help to ease the transition and increase adoption of EHR technology.

The current security risks for ePHI are well known and HIPAA updates continue to maintain security in both policy and in action. That said, the risks today are not the risks we faced just five years ago or those we will face five years from now. As new technologies evolve and access to ePHI becomes more prevalent, it is critical to have a security plan in place that will change proactively as new technologies are implemented and new stakeholders are incorporated into the health care landscape.

Mobile technologies offer providers the opportunity to enhance quality of care and engage patients in their own wellness like never before. Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between engaged patients and improved outcomes. Additionally, mobile solutions have the potential to improve team collaboration, responsiveness and accuracy. Mobility can provide event-driven, real-time notification and patient care alerts delivered directly to the patient or clinician, fostering a closer relationship between patient and provider.

Learning Objectives:

∙ What's been working, why, and where are we headed? ∙ Mobile solutions to engage patients ∙ Challenges associated with an increasingly mobile care environment

iHT² case studies and presentations illustrate challenges, successes and various factors in the outcomes of numerous types of health IT implementations. They are interactive and dynamic sessions providing opportunity for dialogue, debate and exchanging ideas and best practices. This session will be presented by a thought leader in the provider, payer or government space.

Panel "Moving the U.S. Health System Forward with HIE"

Electronic medical information is one of the most important care support tools available in health care today. EHR functionality is greatly enhanced when providers can exchange patient data in a meaningful way. However, with patient data siloed across large, diverse geographic areas, and with privacy and security concerns, nation-wide health information exchange is a very complicated task. Exchanging ePHI between provider-provider and patient-provider is paramount in realizing the full potential of health IT.

As EHR implementation and adoption becomes more commonplace across the health care environment, providers are beginning to focus more on maximizing the value from their investment. Stakeholder engagement is a critical success factor for the effective use of EHRs and other health IT and patients are one of the last, and most important, groups to get involved in this process. While EHRs continue to evolve and technologies like patient portals become more common, providers have the opportunity to drive improvements in quality by encouraging patients to become an active participant in their own care.

Don't miss this interactive and fun reception amongst your colleagues and peers toasting an incredible day of thought leadership and collaboration.

Keynote Presentation “Pharmacogenomics and Clinical Decision Support: How Genomic Medicine Will Change the Game in Health IT”

Learning Objectives:

∙Does your institution have a clear plan for the use of genomic and more generally "'omic" information to support patient care via inclusion in the EHR? What is the technical and administrative/political paths to get there? ∙What is the current state of your data governance policies and practices? Do you have a single source of truth "data warehouse" that has temporal data, medication lists/uses, lab tests, radiology, etc.? ∙Does your institution have a plan to include pharmacogenomic clinical decision support to enable clinicians to be alerted for drug-drug interactions, patient-specific drug metabolism (e.g. For Warfarin, etc.)? Do you subscribe to a pharmacogenomic knowledge base service to provide this support? ∙How do you plan to work with a set of CLIA approved laboratory-based diagnostic and treatment services. How is this coordinated? At the level of the Department of Pathology? Other? ∙Does your institution have a clear dialog and plan to integrate research, clinical care, education, and quality into a "Learning Health System" IT model?

Lunch on the final day will be both delicious and informative. We’ll start off with 45 minutes for lunch service and some time to get settled. For the last hour we’ll host a high-level, interactive work session that will satiate your thirst for knowledge once you’ve taken care of your other appetite!
